B.12 Upload Applet Problems on SLED 10 SP1

Problem:
When you use Novell Vibe in a browser running on SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 SP1, dragging and dropping picture files onto the upload applet results in the pictures being displayed in the browser instead of being added to the Vibe entry as attachments. This problem was reported by a user running a Firefox Version 2.0.0.12 browser, but the problem can also appear with other browsers.

Use your windowing software to select and copy the photo files to your windowing system clipboard.
